Right in my backyard

The other day, Britt, her boyfriend Chris and I got together for coffee and then we hiked up to the old fort tower on the hill in Vélez-Málaga (the adjoining town to mine).  Here are some of the pictures from that day.

You can kinda see the ocean on the horizon at the top left of the photo.

The mountains to the west of Velez


At the tower fort

The mountains to the East of Velez. It had snowed up there the day before.

Also, last week was "el classico"- the matchup in soccer (fútbol) between Real Madrid and Barcelona, the two best teams in the league. We all went to a local bar to watch the game.

  1. Good to read all the updates! I'm glad you had such an awesome trip up to the British Isles.

    Had one question, what are the terraces in the second picture of the mountains? Is that farmland?

    Hope teaching is going well!

  2. Yeah, it's more like orchards. There are a lot of olive and fruit trees around and they use terraces on the mountains for the trees.
